if i delete a file and then do 'git pull', git claims that my repo is up to date, which is not true:

jh@taimen:/usr/src/orig/sip-router$ rm modules.lst jh@taimen:/usr/src/orig/sip-router$ git pull jh@git.sip-router.org's password: Already up-to-date.

modules.lst is not in git, it's autogenerated along with config.mak (current compile config), makecfg.lst (defs for the compiled code used when deciding whether or not the code should be rebuilt as a result of some defs/compile options changes), librpath.lst (library run path, used to decide whether or not a library using module needs relinking) and libiname.lst (only on Mac OS X, similar to librpath.lst but per library instead of per module).

make cfg or make config - regenerate config.mak and modules.lst make cfg-defs - regenerates only config.mak (defines & compile options) make modules-cfg or make modules-list or make modules-lst - regenerate only modules.lst (list of the modules that will be compiled).

There are some examples and very basic docs in INSTALL.

in svn if i do 'svn update', it fetches for me the missing file.

In git pull works in a similar way.

if i try explicitly pull the missing file, i get this:

jh@taimen:/usr/src/orig/sip-router$ git pull modules.lst fatal: 'modules.lst': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Apart from module.lst not being in the repo, you cannot pull only one file (pull merges the repo version of a branch into your current branch). You could get the latest with git checkout, e.g.: git fetch origin git checkout origin/master Makefile

does anyone know how to get my repo up to date if files are missing?
